docu_TIF_V23 – TERRA IGNOTA

#INAUGURACION

The exhibition was inaugurated on the last day of setup, thus reinforcing the idea of a work in process and the intention to play with the temporal and spatial dimensions in which the installation was assembled.

#CONFABULATION

Unsewing Patterns #5
Sewing and Textile Activism Workshop with Viviana Méndez / Curtis Putralk

An open sewing workshop that invited Valdivian women activist collectives (Club de Estampa and Tejido Conectivo Líquido) to discuss our practices and knowledge. Together, we created a pocket pattern to make emergency pants.

#PROPAGATION

Workshop of Weird Radios

Building on the initiative proposed by Barrios Bajos Gallery during the open installation days, we organized a radio workshop where we shared technical tools and participation strategies, focusing on the practice and culture of radio. Leading up to the arrival of Terra Ignota in Valdivia, Barrios Bajos Gallery, in collaboration with the Regional Secretariat of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage of the Ríos region, carried out the project ‘Los Ríos: Visual Territory IV.’ This project included an artistic residency aimed at platforms and spaces for programming and coordination of visual arts in the region, whether public, private, or self-managed.

#OCUPACION

Site-specific lunch
Menu: Potatoes, cabbage, and conversation with Adrián Silva ‘By the warmth of the fire.’

The woodshed installation

The installation created for the woodshed was conceived as a hyper-organism, an ecosystem that welcomed various cultural and social agents from the city of Valdivia. It is a transparent and transformable being according to the needs of its inhabitants, subsidized by water, electricity, and spaces designed with the purpose of creating a platform for the discussion of ideas and the construction of creative spaces. A dystopian and self-generative entity to imagine a potential cultural exchange zone in an uncertain time between the past and the future.
